By integrating, in order to enable enterprises to increase productivity, adapt to the external environment, enhance ability to resist risks. The integration of ERP and E-commerce has also carried out precisely to these objectives, and can be achieved from the following aspects:
(A) Hardware and software reconfiguration.
To ensure better integration of ERP and E-commerce, hardware and software refectory is a basic task, leave the base, ERP and E-commerce integration has become castles in the air. In the integration process, because the system's real-time requirements increase, data traffic increases, the response of the hardware and software increase as the speed and response capacity should be based on actual situation of enterprises update some hardware. In the planning and development of ERP and e-commerce software interface should be set aside, in order to lay a solid foundation for future upgrades.
(B) Business process reengineering.
In the business process, the e-commerce sites should consider the management module, online sales modules, online modules and online procurement of funds receipt and payment module, ERP should give priority to purchasing, production planning, marketing, sales, inventory, finance and logistics, capital flow closely related to the modules, ERP can not be confined to the enterprise's internal management, the system should be based on Internet / Intranet to achieve operational management, and e-commerce system changes should be promptly passed to the ERP system, and vice versa. Such as ERP are purchasing, production, sales, inventory, capital module, while the e-commerce system online sales, online purchases and online funds receipt and payment module, there existed a certain degree of repetition, making integration should be in the ERP logistics and financial module for e-commerce system to enhance an entry and exit, including electronic commerce in the supply chain and financial modules of management, to achieve unified management.

E-business ERP end database server and database server two-way communication between the business data is the main contents of system integration, system integration is key to the success. When in an integrated, e-commerce database and the ERP data between the database changes in communication technologies, middleware, SOAP can be used to pass to avoid data inconsistencies and update delays for businesses to better operational activities.
(D) Human resources integration.
